Hey mark!
There are meets every Thursday by dessert inn and durango. But be forewarned that it is not that great..
jdm240sx122
05-22-2011, 03:23 AM
Not that great huh..
Mabe we should start a new meet not so far from everything???
SuicidnS13
05-22-2011, 08:44 AM
Yea thats my plan.... A different night for a different crowd.... Not everyone can make thursdays and the cops are so hot onto thursdays now its not even funny. I was more thinking about a Monthly daytime zilvia bbq meet up at like mt. Charleston in june on a saturday or sunday. Then once a month every month after. Something alot more organized and eventful than your typical same old boring week night meets. No cops in the day time, fun roads and food. No childish drivers rolling up in primered civics doing burnouts ruining it for us. And then a different night meet like you suggest closer to everyone in the middle of the week. Say like on a tuesday....
Fyi I stay up in aliante till about july then Ill be moving down south to rhodes ranch. So I guess Im far from everything no matter what. Meets in the middle of the city usually equal trouble anyways. Cops are douches in the less fortunate areas so we may have betternluck meeting in a nicer area away from the ghetto's LOL...
Udrift is an awesome location to meet up for multiple reasons.
1. Private property
2. Driftable for cheap with no cop drama
3. Everyone knows where its at
Only downside is that its just south of utah...LOL

05-22-2011, 11:47 AM
For U-drift, just remember to pack food and bring some sort of shade. I think meets that are at night are at that time because they're trying to beat the heat. Which makes sense since 15 minutes in my car going to work, and I'm already sweating bullets. Haha

Hi,
I'm currently looking for some mechanics/fabricator in the vegas(702) area that can help me with my new project. I'm not no superior mechanic but I can get around. The story is I'm currently overseas with my family (military) and will be back in vegas by the latest first week of july. (hopefully by the end of june)
Project:
s13 hatch (already one waiting for me when i get back)
ls engine leaning towards the ls3(painting the engine bay just black)
tranny also (ofcourse)
coilovers
big brake conversion
steering column
radiator
exhaust system
s15 front conversion(which is not important now)
Leaving the exterior pretty much stock except the wheels(till later of course)
later:
roll cage
sound system
body kit(paint will come last im going to assume/if i can last haha
Currently looking for straight performance.(would rather have more bite than bark)

DAMN BRO THANKS!!!
Well whats first?
I mean i was just going to buy the exhaust manifolds but if your boy can hook it up that'd be cool.
Also for the wiring I hate wiring so I was going to send it in!
If your boy can do the tran crossmember?(or is that too much)
The engine crossmember i will buy.
As far as engine mounts, you think he can do it?
If he can fab up a custom oil pan also that'd be amazing!!! this would all save me money!!!
(i know im asking too much but i need any help i can get)
also can you guys flash an ecu? or no?
i almosy forgot the exhasut system. im still undecided but im definitely going duals whether im going side pipes or not. i also need a cat sooooo yah. maybe ill try and draw some stuff up.
I'd love to see that s14 2jz run!!!! but youre currently rocking a s14 with what? whats the specs on those tires? looking for something similar.
im actually looking for how these fit.

18 x 10.5 on 275's was the work vs-kf's

Wow, glad i found you. I'm not going to lie this will be my first swap. So, Im very fortunate to find you!
But seriously I don't know where to start, I'm thinking of pulling the old motor and painting while simultaneously fixing the ls engine.

is your budget 15k? It can be done but you have to plan it to a T and stick with it. I suggest buying an entire camaro z28 from ridesafely.com (google it) and part out accesories ect. Paint can be done on a budget and so can basic suspension. you also need to make a realistic power/style balance goal. dont buy shit till you have a final picture.

LMAO I KNOW YOU'D BE ON ZILvIA!!!! hahahaha i know its a long shot probably wont remember. but I saw you at an ATM in Vegas last year. or excuse me if im wrong might be another guy with a very similar looking car. I was at the ATM Bank of America and you pulled up with a gril in the passenger seat. i just kinda looked at your car and checked out some of what vegas 240's are like. nodded my head then my friends in the White Evo X had took off and i was left there like a jack ass until they came back.

I SOO WANT TO SEE THAT!
But I heard from a few people that 10k is not enough for the project?
Can you guys just break down the cost?
All i want is the bare minimum of a RUNNING LS engine with everything else STOCK!
a friend of mine is buying this fron another friend of mine. it has EVERYTHING FOR THE BARE MINUMUM FOR THE SWAP INCLUDING THE MOUNTS, DRIVESHAFT ETC.... HES PAYING 3500 WITH THE MOTOR TRANNY THE CONVERSION KIT THAT WAS USED IN THE PREVIOUS S13, THE CUSTOM FABRICATED HEADERS AND THE ECU AND WIRE HARNESS!!!!
if i wasnt such a good friend ID BUY THAT THING RIGHT NOW AND CRATE SHIP THIS THING TO VEGAS AND SAVE A COUPLE THOUSAND!

LOL thats your job.
Here ill help you with a start list and google and a pen and paper can do the rest for ya
1. Engine, tranny and harness
2. mount kit and all associated install parts
3. Headers
4. Harness conversion
5. Then add 2k for random stuff people always foget ontop of that
7. S13 chassis
8. Coilovers, bushings and all new arms
9. Paint
10. Wheels
11. Tires
12. Add 1,000 for random interior shit
Niw take that list and find your pricing... It takes alot of research to find the best deals. If you really want me to do all that for you Im always HIREABLE for a small consultation fee. LOL......
Heck my Super Simple S14 is easily a 15-20k build and its still not done. Ok well its not really that simple.... But quality comes at a price and comes easiest with experience.
Fast
cheap
Reliable
You can pick from 2 of those.... But u cant have it all....

Well i was just saying because someone on silviav8.net said the damn tranny,clutch and engine alone is 15k.....so im like wtf. where r u getting these numbers?
The engine, tranny and harness will vary depending on what I choose i understand that.
the harness your friend said he can do it? hopefully for not a crazy price
The mounting as well your friend said he can also do again hopefully for not a crazy price
Headers not sure if he can fabricate that as well which he presented himself like he could.
plus the 2k you mentioned for random stuff...

Lol there are many ways to get the driveline. First of all its usdm and junk yards everywhere have camaros.
1. Car-parts.com. - search for the engine and transmissions individually
2. Ridesafely.com - buy an entire totalled camaro for 3k or less and part it out and probably end up with a 500.00 lsx swap
3. Watch the local yards closely.
4. Ebay they average like 4k complete

i checked ridesafely.com I found some camaros in the 98-02 year so the tranny wont have to be purchased anywhere else. and i must say this is probably the best route..... you do have the WHOLE CAR which you pretty much need just the front end. but you can get lucky and find a great deal. theres actualy an ls7 now!

Ya thats all true! and Parting out cars are always a benefactor. Like you said it will take a while but if i part the car. Its almost like I'll be getting the ls and tranny for free and i do the part out correct!!!!
s14lover702
THAT'D BE FANTASTIC! I'd love the godspeeds! But as far as stance are we talking the lx or are we talking like gr and xr coils? also hit me up in pm about an estimate of how much id have to pay you for the fabricating. im trying to throw together a spreadsheet of the cost and although you didnt say you'd charge me im sure your work isnt free! Unless of course youre just cool like that then prove me wrong.... hahhha.

sorry priced out a welder, bender and notcher? from what it sounded like your friend had everything except a welder(are you talking buyING them)? and no doubt man ill bring all the beer you can drink!!!!!
Also how big is this guys garage?(jason) it sounds like you may have an actual garage? or no?

he is asking have you priced it out to see how much the whole thing would cost? then he wants you to take that figure and use it as a realization as to why Jason has to charge for his services. because im assuming that he has, in fact, purchased all of those things.

starting at $320 for all 4 depending on how crazy you wanna get with them :)
those prices also include stripping of any old paint, sand blasting, prep and all oatings also!

thinking of doing a Grand Opening BBQ around the first week of Sept for the new shop...what do you guys think? Input?
SuicidnS13
07-27-2011, 12:27 AM
Start promoting it on vegas drift and lvracingscene.com. Also I suggest a soft opening and then maybe after a month of service throwing a grand openong bbq, car show kinda meet. September is roughly a month away, october is a better month weather wise and would allow you more headroom on promoting your new shop/services to the local community. Also offer some prizes (shop service???) to the best cars of your event. So on and so fourth. Promoted right your grand opening event could generate positive buzz about your new shop which could help gaurantee your success in Vegas's questionable economy.

07-27-2011, 01:09 AM
i do like that input alot! Thank you for it.
I will start going out to all the meets (where ever they are i have to find that out still lol) and start passing around flyers to everyone there, talking to them and getting to know people.
The shop will have displays hung up around the walk in area as well for customers to check it out as well.

Wednesday night at WTf Wednesdays/Fuk Burger is a large meet which caters to most of the import crowds. Cars and Coffee on saturday mornings caters to everyone. There are a few thursday night meets too. And off course the tuesday night henderson meet up. That right there should cover all of your basis. Id talk to the owners of Vegas Speed, Insane Speed and Hondoctors for a referral system with them. DDS is another shop as well. Unfortunately the bulk of your business wont come from 240 owners as these guys really dont build show cars. They build beaters to drift and budget accordingly. Im in pretty close with Team Hybrid, so if youd like I could formally introduce you to there show team. Those guys and their friends spend serious coin on show pieces.

I did some undercover calling a couple weeks ago to some companys there and I couldn't find anything less then $95 a wheel for 16s in candy purple

Yea your pricing is Good to Go, you just need some serious cars rocking your work and quick to get the word out. Cars that make it out to the weekly meets with a decent look will bring you business for sure. Id try and find a few guiness pigs like a high end EVO, high end 240, high end WRX, civics ect... That way people have something to see and you have people allready outthere whoring out your work. Hook em up phat and your return should be as good.

Yea Udrift has multiple 240s for rent. Pretty much stock platforms except for Welded Diffs and some bolt ons. You pay like $50.00 for I believe skid pad time and 3-6(I forget) laps around the lot. You also get to choose between a dry and a wet lot.
fatlace808
07-31-2011, 04:38 PM

07-31-2011, 05:04 PM
no, the course covers the whole pad usually. they change it up every now and then though, so it's not always the same thing. there are two courses on two pads; one is wet and one is dry.

Hey guys. My name is Chris and I just bought my first 240sx a few months ago. I love my car to death :) I'm pretty young and hopefully going to turn this car into a project car once I get the money but for now its a daily. Right now my car is at speedlab getting a whole new wiring setup and getting some new struts. My car is pretty decent right now. Everything is stock besides the exhaust. I'm rocking steelies. I'm hopefully going to get new tail lights(I hate tint -_-'' the previous owner put that and the shockers LOL)
but yeah. its a 1990 240sx se. Runs good. only down side is that its auto :( but thats alright! There will be a swap in the near future :) Hopefully that isnt a problem guys :/ I'd love to meet up with you guys one day! It's good to see people who drive the same type of car as you and share the same passion. I honestly have no idea where udrift is. Isnt it by the speedway? Its like vegas drift right? iunno. well here are some pics of my s13.
Thing i replaced: all the wheels. rocking steelies
front 2 struts so far.
